Big was a huge movie at the time.
Showed his acting chops.

He doesn't specify the four. Private Ryan and Castaway seem obvious to me.
Forrest Gump
Apollo 13
Saving Private Ryan
??? (Philadelphia, Big, Castaway, The Burbs, Dragnet
)

As Executive Producer, Hanks technically "made" Band of Brothers, so I'll nominate it as my favorite gem that he's had a hand in.
I will say that, of his movies, I do recall leaving the theater after Forrest Gump and wanting to be a better person. It was wholesome and altruistic, attributes that were foreign to my early-20s self. At the time, it was the first movie that ever provided me any personal inspiration.

He's probably thinking of Forrest Gump and Philadelphia, perhaps even more than Castaway.

Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, A League of their Own, Green Mile

Castaway was one of his best acting jobs, but not top 4 films

Correct. Bachelor Party is his most underrated acting performance. He was great in it.
Posted on 9/29/22 at 9:19 am to Diseasefreeforall
Pretty obviously
Saving Private Ryan
Philadelphia
Forest Gimp and
Joe Versus the Volcano.

Castaway is nowhere near his too 4 IMO.
SPR and Apollo 13 for sure. Forrest Gump? Big?
If he was being serious, Philadelphia would obviously be 1 of the 4.
But he's not being serious.

Probably not Joe vs the Volcano.

Absolutely those 3. The other one I'd say either like Apollo 13 or Big.

The Green Mile has to be in there

I think he’s referring to movies he produced.

I mean he won Oscars for Forest Gump and Philadelphia. They also won best picture of their year. 
Posted on 9/29/22 at 12:28 pm to Diseasefreeforall
The Toy Stories have to be on there.
